Technical Assistance on State Data Collection-IDEA Data Management Center

Document 2024-25862 is a Proposed Rule published by the Department of Education in the Federal Register on November 7, 2024. The Department of Education (Department) proposes a priority for an IDEA Data Management Center, under the Technical Assistance on State Data Collection program. The Department may use this priority for competitions in fiscal year (FY) 2025 and later years. We take this action to focus attention on an identified national need to provide technical assistance (TA) to improve the capacity of States to meet the data collection requirements under Part B and Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The IDEA Data Management Center (Data Management Center) will assist States in collecting, reporting, and determining how to best analyze and use their Part B and Part C data to establish and meet high expectations for each child with a disability by enhancing, streamlining, and integrating IDEA Part B data into their State longitudinal data systems (SLDS), and IDEA Part C data and IDEA Part B preschool special education data into their early childhood integrated data system (ECIDS).
